I don't understand the hate on Adcs when almost every champion in the game wrecks them.

Literally about 99% of the champions that aren't adcs have tools directly designed to screw over squishy champions. ad carries in particular.

You will have these champions on your team every single game, all it takes is pressing a singular button, or hitting a combo, or flashing in and using one ability to shut down the adc.

Playing Adc requires properly positioning in every fight, and playing well to be successful. It isn't as simple as "let me roll in and oneshot their entire team!!" If that's happening to you, it's because you let them do it.

"Qss makes cc irrelevant" Yes, one cc. Not the several that are in almost every team comp.

Ranged ad marksmen are necessary in the game, if they weren't in it towers couldn't be successfully taken. The team with the stronger anti-dive comp would win just about every time. Teams would just sit under tower and when the melees/ranged mages etc.. try to take the tower you just kill them for free.

Tl:DR: Adc is balanced due to the fact that almost every champion in the game fucks them over and they are necessary for proper objective play.

Because people think that just because we have an adc on every team, it's an "adc meta".

The way the game was designed means you need ranged DPS to take towers. It doesn't matter if they're strong or weak, you won't be knocking down any objectives without them. You could delete them from the game, and people would just switch to the next best thing, like melee DPS MasterYi or champions with good auto attacks TwistedFate .

They have complained about every class, adc won't be the first nor the last

Agreed, coming from a support player, I don't think ADC's are really all that important, cause there are times where I shit on the enemy laner and get my ADC fed and we don't win, and there are times I do, and Vice Versa. Just because ADC's are in a good spot right now Cough VAYNE Cough doesnt mean that the game revolves around them.

We will both get flamed but I feel the same way. ADCs are reliant on their team to either peel or soak up enough damage for you to position. 75% (or more) of the time if a melee gets into range you're dead. Even a tanky melee eats through a squishy.

Now I'm sure all the ADC haters are gonna say "then stop going glass cannon noob", which makes 0 sense as their stats don't scale defensively and can only really sacrifice 1 slot for defense which is generally QSS, Banshees or GA.

Oh and my favorite, how half the posts are about how OP ADCs are and the other half are about how much they feed.

That is, If you can get close to them while they fighting off someone else.

People forget that a teammate assisting a champion in dealing DPS does not mean the DPS champion is broken.

There's a reason I think ADC is the real hardest role in the game. The amount of ADCs I've kicked the faces in of as Braum is staggering.

ADC's are so removed from the rest of the player base, they feel its a crime if anything can burst them, duel them, or kill them in any other way.

The Glass cannon is actually made out of glass, who would have guested?
